About John
John Engebretson is a licensed counselor with 20 years of experience who practices in Colorado. He uses a warm, interactive approach and aims to treat people with respect and sensitivity. He focuses on real-life problems like depression, anxiety, stress, relationship struggles, and parenting challenges.
He combines client-centered conversation with practical techniques. That means sessions often start with what matters most to the person and move toward clear steps they can try between meetings. Cognitive behavioral strategies are used to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change or needs extra encouragement.
John has worked in community-based settings and has supported people facing trauma, abuse, impulse-control challenges, and substance use. He also has experience with autism spectrum issues, intellectual disability, caregiver stress, and aging-related concerns. His background includes helping people manage grief, sleep problems, career transitions, and the ups and downs of bipolar mood challenges.
Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than labels. John aims to be direct but compassionate and to create a plan that fits daily life. He encourages small, practical steps and checks progress as therapy continues.
If someone is ready to try therapy, he guides them through starting with a short intake and a plan tailored to their goals.
